Re: build problem on fclose

John, how does one learn autotools nowadays? The autobook hasn't been
updated forever, so I don't want to learn from an outdated resource.
I've realised that it's impossible to use a different build system at
least because we're using gnulib which needs autotools to function,
and probably for other reasons too. What's the thing to read? I get
lost with m4 and autoconf, automake, and I get confused with which
files are automatically generated and which aren't, and I don't even
know what things to check for, what cross-platform issues to watch out
for, what files to touch if I want to mess with the build system
(which I sort of want to do right now, because I want to push Jacob's
GUI work into Savannah so we can all start building it regularly).

So can you recommend something to read? RTFM is fine, but which FMs
should be read?

Thanks,
- Jordi G. H.
